Been wanting to make a post like this for a while, as an alternative to Never Love an Anchor if you can't watch any video because your wifi sucks or for screen reader users since I can write better image descriptions in this format :>

Hot steamy breaths burst through his nostrils, when he arrives at the gravel fan, he doesn’t even greet his opponents. A growl rumbling in his throat, he immediately goes for the ennemy’s. He is outnumbered, not by much but he fights like it. Fur is torn, blood is spilled. Ko-fi

In the end, Soleil is left standing tall as the three yearlings run away with their tails tucked. Mouth filled with fur that isn’t his, he bares his teeth at the ranges of hills blocking his horizon. You who knows no shame I shall take back what you ripped from my own ! You who believes in spilling young blood I will play your games, I will abide by your rules and I will wager until there is nothing left to be gambled. The pack leader starts running again, yet he isn’t heading home. He ignores the red bullets running down his fur and he ignores the crushing pain in his hind leg. His orange eyes stay staring unblinkingly at the hills as he enters Junction Butte territory.

Sisyphus is doing great

[Video ID : Screen recording of a dark brown wolf pup from the game Wolf Quest AE. The puppy with the name tag "Sisyphus" is laying down in grass but his head is rotating around widly due to a bug. The puppy gets up and wags his tail, then the camera pans to another puppy hiding behind his mother and looking in the direction of his sibling. The puppy is named "Ohno". A text is edited on top of the video and reads "mom pick me up I'm scared". ID End]

Everybody deals with grief differently, but some grieve differentl-ier than others. (neither of them know what to do)

A howl breaks through the night. Soleil startles awake and stays still as the fog clears through his brain. Then he recognizes who that howl belongs to, and suddenly his hackles rise with anger. Ko-fi

A challenge. Someone wishes to take a piece of his territory. But not anybody. The wind comes from the south. That’s where the Junction Butte pack is. Aconite presses her head on top of Soleil’s back and lets out a soft whine. We’re all tired. They’re not even good hunting grounds. We’ll get it back next winter. Soleil knows better than to give in to the rage. There are so many mouths to feed, everyone’s energy should stay focused on that. He settles back in the dog pile that is keeping them warm as the drizzle starts to fall. The howls won’t stop. Soleil rolls on his side, then stretches to ease the ache in his bones. He tosses and turns and despite the cold rain, his fur suffocates him. A lightning tears the pitch black sky, then a thunder crashes close by, resonating in the whole valley. Aconite jumps awake. It’s just thunder. As she lays back down, shifting around hoping to find the comforting warmth of her mate, she finds nothing but cold damp dirt. Soleil is gone.

Whoever did the french translation for Wolf Quest, step up. I want to talk to you. Don't mind the spear and fork in my hands... Can't speak for the other languages but as a more nuance take I'll say I'm happy to hear the dev paid real humans to do the translation work, but I'm sorry that he found a french-speaker that decided to stick very close to english and translate every word literally. ("couper la queue" means "to cut the tail" not "cut tail", I understand how you can make that mistake but still) Also on top of that every sentence feels off, nothing sounds natural. I'm a bit concerned, I know the dev mentioned that some people who translated the game where fans and I really don't want to be rude, the sentences are grammatically correct, so it is a functionnal translation but it's not.. a good translation...

"les animaux proies" (prey animals) nobody says this, how about "les proies" (preys) or "les herbivores" (herbivores) instead ? "lorsque vous mordez" (when you bite) missing a "les" (them).

"courez ailleurs" to translate "run somewhere else", like I really don't think that the "run" in the english sentence is meant to be literal in the game, yet the translator did literally translate it like this. How about "partez" (leave), and it's much shorter so that would help the dev in fixing the issue that he encountered with German and French being more wordy and demanding more space for the UI

In WolfQuest devs we trust As of January 2025 all the bad translations I have showed in this post have been fixed. I played the game for a few hours in french to check if I would be slapped with disappointment but turns out that the text that I have come across is much more fluid to read. I still found some weird oddities like a "vous êtes blessé à la/au mâchoire" (you've suffered a bruised jaw) which is a very weird mistake to make. In french to describe where the injury is you need to add a preposition "à la" (feminine), "au" (masculine) or "aux" (plural) before the noun. "Mâchoire" is strictly feminine in singular form, which it is in this text so I don't know what the translator hesitated about. I've never seen a native french speaker make this mistake but I have seen native english speakers make it regularly though. Including native english speakers who are fluent in french. There's a few more examples I came across which just made it obvious the translator is missing the context for some texts, like the glowstick joke you get for its achievement, or the way dispersals are called in the scent view. Reported all of them in feedback form. Also I feel like I'm being gaslit because I cannot for the life of me find the "prey animals inflict damage" text. I thought I saw it from the update video but apparently not.

Redraw of these Princess Mononoke screenshots but they're OngakuK's first wolf pair from her main game. And Appallo's grandparents ! You've seen the scarred wolf in the Never Love an Anchor video before. Surprise lore reveal ! Ko-fi

It may be because of the way tumblr works idk but I’m just going to say that you as an audience have never made me feel the shameful guilt of not uploading 3 times a week by commenting about when’s the next upload coming or whatnot.

You guys get nothing for 3 months and then a bad sketch of a wolf and then nothing again and no one asks questions. You guys are cool ty for that

Coyotes are way too bold for having this little amount of health. AND THEY JUST WON'T LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE OMG HOW DO THEY KEEP COMING BACK

Butterfly effect. Start.

Iris was killed by a Junction Butte wolf.

Ko-fi

It all happened in a blur. The pack was settling down for the night when they heard rustling nearby. Junction Butte pack. Figures came rushing at them. Sunflower pack wasn't scared. They were more numerous than their rivals. Soleil noticed a female. Black matted fur and a brown nose. Her yellow teeth betrayed her age. She was one of the leaders. He never intended to kill. Only to scare them away. Soleil targeted her, grabbed her neck only to sink his fangs into a tough odd texture. She nipped back. Someone bit his tail. Another pulled at his paw. Too focused on trying to fend his ennemies off, Soleil's blood only froze once he heard the loud yelp rise above the cacophony.

Appallo is overwhelmed by coyotes as he is alone at the densite. Pressured by the predators, both Vivify and Sisyphus leave the safety of the tall grass. Appallo can only save one. Vivify thinks back about the relationship she didn't have with her second parent.
